There are two types of people in India - those who get frisked and those who don't. The rules of the game are very clear and displayed for all to see - exhibit A. It is judged that the dignity of those listed would be undermined by the act of passing through airport security. This made national Indian news on the weekend - not as you might expect because it is horribly elitist, but because an ex-President was frisked as he boarded a Continental Airlines flight to the US. This, cried some media, was nothing less than an insult to him, and to India. Slow news day? I asked my driver and he thought the concept of two rules for frisking quite silly - let them all be frisked he said. Couldn't agree more.
